Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be useful in detecting labyrinthitis and thereby predicting the development of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in adults with central nervous system (CNS) infections. We therefore investigated the coherence between brain MRI and SNHL among adults with CNS infections.
Methods: Twenty-eight patients with bacterial or viral meningitis, viral encephalitis, or Lyme neuroborreliosis, who had a brain MRI during the acute disease and pure-tone audiometry at follow-up, were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) by measuring cochlear function in patients diagnosed with LNB.
- Researchers used Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE) and Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA3) to assess hearing at admission, during treatment, and after discharge.
- Results showed that most patients experienced improvement in low to mid-frequency hearing, but there was a decrease in high-frequency hearing, indicating that LNB may cause both temporary and lasting auditory issues.
Background: Hearing loss and deafness are well-known sequelae from bacterial meningitis (ABM) and may result in social dysfunction and learning difficulties. Yet, the timely development of hearing loss and restitution is poorly studied, especially among adults. Hearing loss was revisited using otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) to determine the occurrence, magnitude, and development of hearing loss among adults with ABM.

Left untreated both diseases can result in visual dysfunctions because of their close proximity to orbita. We report a rare case of an isolated trochlear nerve palsy caused by chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis.

Methods: Data on patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) at our institute from January 2005 to December 2013 were collected retrospectively.
